The Republic of Balochistan has issued a message marking November 13 as Baloch Martyrs Day, paying tribute to what it describes as 200,000 Baloch martyrs who sacrificed their lives for their homeland, national identity, freedom and the future of coming generations.
In its statement, titled Message of the Republic of Balochistan on Baloch Martyrs Day, the organisation described the occasion as a significant chapter in Baloch national history, marked by grief, pride and an enduring aspiration for freedom.
The message honoured those who, according to the statement, chose sacrifice rather than compromise on their attachment to their homeland, national dignity and principles of freedom. It said their courage, determination and sacrifices would remain part of the nation’s collective memory.
Beyond remembrance, the statement called on the Baloch people to draw lessons from the martyrs’ commitment and uphold their ideals through unity, tolerance, political awareness, education and national responsibility.
It also acknowledged the suffering of families who lost loved ones, paying tribute to mothers who lost their sons, sisters who lost their brothers, and children deprived of their fathers.
Emphasising the importance of building a peaceful and prosperous future, the message urged collective efforts towards a society where future generations could live with dignity, freedom, peace and prosperity.
“Nations do not honour their heroes merely through tears; they pay tribute to them by keeping their ideals, character and dreams alive,” the statement said.
The message concluded with a salute to the martyrs, asserting that although they were no longer physically present, their sacrifices, determination and memories would continue to live in the hearts of the Baloch people.
